Praten met De Nachtwacht

Martin, a night guard at the Rijksmuseum, finds his solitary routine interrupted when Rembrandt's "The Night Watch" begins to speak to him. The painting shares the stories of its subjects — soldiers who were once living men with fears and aspirations. As Martin listens, the boundary between his reality and the world of the canvas begins to dissolve. This 2025 drama explores loneliness, art as a conversation across centuries, and how the past persists in the present. The director crafts an intimate portrait of a man who discovers a dialogue where he least expected it, in the silent halls after closing time.
